I didn't get a chance to stop by his trailer to search for Kaw parts this time. Hopefully he'll bring the parts to Memphis.

I would think the DA at Memphis could be better than Valdosta for a record SEL passes , but year before last my weather station at Valdosta read -235 feet one morning = the only time I seen a better reading than that was Englishtown -355 feet years back and that was when I found out what the EAST COAST motorcycle drag races called racing in the tunnel with minus DA for low numbers in 1320'.

Pops, the weather should be good this time of year. That heat the last few seasons took a toll on bike and rider. Unfortunately for me, if I get the nitrous SOHC bike ready to go after that CB/SN record, I won't be able to enter my red bike in S/E for the CB/SS record. I'll try to bring both bikes  and just run the red bike in street ET. Bill, this is your opportunity to shine without competition bud. I know you'll put on a great show and topple the current ET record.

Any chance we'll get to see you in Memphis??

SEL Frank : I might make a run to ROCKINGHAM , been 20 years since we had a IDBA race at STEVE'S place, poor Schnitz had a bad travel run to that place = came out of the tunnel on I-77 S. and the wind took his new big trailer right off the back of his dually ........... bent and broke every thing on the trailer = another run South the whole trailer hitch on his dually broke off and the trailer ran into the back of the truck. After those two near fatal accidents I would always ask DAVE telling me how the trip from Indiana went at our next events. Found out what the name " YOU A YANKEE " meant while driving my van with OHIO license plates thru the South to those IDBA events in the ol dayz. Hey I love GRITS w/ butter and sugar it's the mortar that seals the cracks in your insides.

Pops, no self respecting southerner puts sugar in their grits. Must be you Yankee's thinking its cream of wheat or something. Lol. At least you've tried grits. It will stick to your ribs and is a good way to start a cold day. Mix in a little cheese and you're "eatin high on the hog".

Okay, we'll look forward to seeing you at the ROCK. I'll give you a call sometime soon.

Not sure what plate will be on the rental from the airport, but I am gonna be there.  ;)

OK, OK, maybe I went a little long on the Angelo thing, but he did promise to show us the way!  8)

You ARE one of the BIG GUYS Frank. In fact, "King of the Hill" ........... for now.  8)

The 2 I was referring to may be more bark than bite!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Any more?  ???

Dang man, don't leave me hangin. I can't do it alone, but I'll try my best not to embarrass you guys. I'm hoping you'll get a good report this week Billy. I know I can count on Wilbur. He's gotten the fever so he'll probably show up as well.

Right Jerry. Never count the Bling Master out. He's been face down on the mat and came back for a TKO.

Lol, been so bummed about my hand and now Nicky Hayden.
But I climbed on the Iron Horse tonight! Look, I can pull it in, therapy again today, twice a week trying to get ready! Got a lot to do in one weeks time if I get release tomorrow! Got to rebuild front brake caliper and master cylinder.  Also check fuel delivery, perhaps play with z bump stick! Fix shift light and install frame kit, wonder what I'll do after lunch? LMAO.  Stay tuned and thanks for the kind words, hope I can live up to your expectations,  Bill

Bill, THAT my friend is the ONLY therapy you need. Squeeze, release, squeeze, release. 10 sets of 10 every couple hours. Remember, pain can be good  ;) Blood isn't.

Forgot I bought a few pictures at the Cup race. Not certain which class I was running at the time.
